Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning

The 2024 Ohio State football team saw a huge benefit from splitting carries between TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins, as both backs stayed healthy throughout the season and reached 1,000 yards on the ground. 

Now, with both of them off to the NFL, will Carlos Locklyn's room produce another pair of backs with that level of production? 

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear from Locklyn about that and much more. 

• How sophomore RB James Peoples has grown since his first season with the Buckeyes
• How CJ Donaldson's background as a receiver could impact his production
• And more

Before the 12-team College Football Playoff format went into effect, Ralph Russo of the Associated Press found that on average over the previous 10 seasons, a 12-team CFP field would have consisted of:

• 4 of the top-5 teams in the preseason AP Poll
• 2 of the teams ranked from 6-10 in the preseason AP Poll
• 2 of the teams ranked from 11-20 in the preseason AP Poll
• 1 of the teams ranked from 21-25 in the preseason AP Poll
• 3 teams not ranked at all in the preseason AP Poll

Last summer, Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joined host Tom Orr to take their shot at using that formula to predict the first-ever 12-team CFP field. How did the formula hold up, and how did Tony and Tom do with their predictions?

And more importantly, how do they think that formula will play out in the 2025 college football season?

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll get the answers to all of that and more. 

With Cody Simon off to the NFL, Ohio State linebacker Arvell Reese is set to take on a much bigger role in the Buckeyes' defense in 2025, starting with the massive No. 1 vs. No. 2 season-opening showdown with the Texas Longhorns. 

What has linebackers coach James Laurinaitis seen from Reese that makes him think he's ready for this bigger role?

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear the answer to that and much more from Laurinaitis, as well as Ohio State quarterbacks coach Billy Fessler.

Tuesday morning, Ohio State announced a series of major changes to game day operations inside Ohio Stadium for Buckeye football games, starting with the season opener against Texas. 

Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss the new look for home games in the Horseshoe. Plus, the fellas talk about what they learned from OSU head coach Ryan Day, as well as QB coach Billy Fessler, and quarterbacks Julian Sayin, Lincoln Kienholz, and Tavien St. Clair.

The Ohio State Buckeyes are entering their second week of fall camp, as they prepare for a season opening No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchup with the Texas Longhorns. 

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear from Ohio State offensive coordinator Brian Hartline about the start of OSU's fall camp, the growth of projected starting wide receivers Jeremiah Smith, Carnell Tate, and Brandon Inniss, as well as how big of a role players like Bryson Rodgers and Mylan Graham could have this fall. 

Plus, his thoughts on freshman RB Turbo Rogers, how he's working with new run game coordinator Tyler Bowen, and much more.

Ohio State defensive coordinator Matt Patricia will bring a very different perspective to this year's Buckeye defense after spending the last two decades coaching in the NFL. He is replacing college football lifer Jim Knowles in that role, but how much different will this year's defense be? 

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear directly from Patricia about that and much more, including what Caleb Downs could bring to the nickel role, how some young defensive tackles are making the most of Eddrick Houston's absense, what kind of impact transfer defensive end Beau Atkinson could have this fall, and much more.

The Ohio State Buckeyes were back on the practice field for day one of 2025 fall camp on Thursday at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center.

The Ohio State Buckeyes kick off their 2025 fall preseason camp on Thursday at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center.

Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss five things they're interested to see on offense, ranging from the battle for the starting quarterback job between Julian Sayin and Lincoln Kienholz, to the development of running backs James Peoples, CJ Donaldson, Sam Williams-Dixon, Bo Jackson, Isaiah West, and Turbo Rogers, how the offensive line will line up, and whether Max Klare will be able to revolutionize the tight end position in Columbus.

Ohio State and Oregon don't have much shared history, but playing two high-profile matchups during the 2024 season hit the fast-forward button on what may be a developing rivalry.

During 2025 Big Ten Media Days, the Buckeyes were asked a number of questions about the Ducks, including about Ryan Day's relationship with Oregon head coach Dan Lanning, their impressions of Oregon's Autzen Stadium, the dramatic and controversial ending to the teams' regular-season matchup, and the Buckeyes' blowout win in the 2025 Rose Bowl.
